Not sure how accurate this info is but I'm a nurse anesthetist and i make >$300K/year in texas. Not the norm but I for sure wouldnt take any job that pays <$160K/year anywhere in the country.

aariwa:
what's the procedure for becoming a nurse anaesthetics. Is it through accelerated bsn nursing Chanel or cna-lpn-rn channel or using o level certificate to apply to a school.please enlighten us more for educational purposes

lolawilliams:


Nurse anesthetists administer
anesthesia services in a wide
range of health care facilities, from
the hospital emergency room to
the dentist's office. On the
surface, the steps you need to
take to learn how to become a
nurse anesthetist would seem
fairly self-evident: complete
master's-level training in nurse
anesthesia and pass a certification
exam. Beyond those essential
requirements, however, a few
other steps are involved. Read on
to learn the top 10 steps to take
to become a nurse anesthetist.

nice tips there atleast i will have good news for my gf as she's planning for her nursing masters in the states.
Any tips you can offer me based on experience asper the question i asked earlier

" please what will you advise me to pursue for masters as
regards job availability and money involved in physics as am
looking to work in the states bear in mind that there are
some parts in physics that's related to the medical sector.
Please reply sir. Thanks"

lolawilliams:

Nice decision dear. Cause science graduate are the most frustrated
unemployed graduates in
Nigeria. science courses dont
sell well here, only professional
courses and management and
administrative courses do.. And I believe u also know that.. As for your gf, it will be better if she goes for her masters in the states and as for you, physics is a pre medical course, cause American
medical schools require
courses in chemistry (organic
and inorganic), biology,
physics, mathematics, and
English (with some medical
schools requiring other/
additional courses). Cause the way you typed your question, it looks like you wanna switch to a medical field.. So your bsc in physics is not stopping you frm entering the medical field.

Billyjim:
@lola williams i study physics and have some professinal certificate in computer networking cisco to be precise is there a chance of getting job in statec with this

samuelkingz:
so op wat can u say of a person who studied mass communications here in naija nd plans on doin his msc in advertising and public relations there is d states.any good job prospects?

lolawilliams:

Are u thinkin of bringing your cert to work in the states? If thats it, it can't work.. Only if you can boost it up with a master degree, and it must be done here in the states. As for the job, I dont know if you'll get a job but maybe if you can do your masters in either physics careers in healthcare or physics career in technology. You might have a 50/50 % of getting a job.

Billyjim:
the board that award the certificate is from united state you should be familiar with cisco technology. infact my certificate was sent from the state

lolawilliams:

Ok I thought the cisco cert is from nigeria, you're in the states you should hlp yourself out cause am into the healthcare field not the tech or engineering field..

CaraJewel:
Op wat about medical laboratory science....plus is it a nice course cuz i rarely hear pple talkin about it or even mentioning it

nelszx:


It depends on what you call a nice course. If you'd ask me it's super nice u tend to c whatever is happening to me human right in front of u. People hardly talk about them cos they are basically the "unsung heroes" cos they do the job backstage. The Dr takes the glory of these people cos they profer solutions to ones ailment.
In the US it's even a doctorate degree (DCLS) though it's still relatively young as compared other health related courses but it has helped changed the face of medicine from guess work to evidence based

CaraJewel:
Ok tnx and wat aout public Health

honey86:


Go into accounting, get chartered and start making the money.

nelszx:


Public health at Bsc level isn't that appreciated but at MSc level, its the bomb. That's the point where other health professionals key into the course

CaraJewel:
I hope on doin mls for Bsc...and public health as Msc

Brigadier7:
I will reply you later! I am at work right now waiting to be done in 2 hours

my sister studied nursing bsc with 2.1. I want her to relocate to either canada ir america and I was told she has to write CGNFS and english languast test exams.
please does she need to also sit for the NCLEX-RN exams. can she get a job with just CGNFS and English language test?

lolawilliams:

she needs NCLEX cause the first step to practising as a nurse over there is to apply for a license with a state board of nursing and the NCLEX is required by al state of boards for licensure.
The CGFNS exam is for people outside of usa who wish to access their chances of the usa registered nurse licensing exam which is the NCLEX so you can gey licensure to practice as a registered nurse in the states. so you see the CGFNS will be useless without taking the main exam NCLEX.
So the answer to your question is NO, cause she wont get licensure to work anywhere with just CGFNS and eng proficiency test.

jeron1:


thanks, do they write NCLEX exams in Nigeria?

lolawilliams:
No, They don't. she'll get to the states bfore she can take it.

This is very similar to what is obtainable in Canada. Except the IT part, Indians have flooded that part of the job market, and Canada has a small job market due to it's low population and highly educated citizens.
100% of Nigerian educated doctors I have met working in Canada are usually into family, psychiatry and a few in ER.
I haven't met a Nigerian trained dentist though.
